There are homeless encampments steadily increasing in number behind my house and those of my neighbors. There are now several in view of my windows. The amount of trash is staggering, including countless hypodermic needles. Trash is regularly set on fire by the residents of the encampments, producing noxious smoke that smells terrible and is surely not safe to breathe. The city needs to do something about these encampments. Open air drug use within feet of neighborhoods with young children should not be tolerated. I've been a resident of Bloomington for a decade and I'm strongly considering moving out of town due to the city's inability to address this issue. Please do something.

There has been a large Rumpke dumpster parked in the exit lane of the parking lot of our apartment complex for 10 days. Hunter Bloomington Property Management gave residents no notice of this dumpster -- or of the two others that have previously been placed in other spots in the parking lot. This makes the necessity of driving the wrong way down the drive lane in the back lot in order to exit even more dangerous. I called their office before end of the day on Friday, June 27th and received no answer. But I haven't been able to get a person on the phone from property management in several months. I also sent an email on July 1 which they also have not responded to. The dumpsters appear to have been for construction garbage, as one of the buildings was re-roofed last week. But residents have used the dumpsters for personal garbage and with the heat, the smell is quite noticeable, just outside our door. We have not been able to consistently get deliveries to our door since this most recent dumpster appeared. And we are also concerned that the dumpster may block the access of emergency vehicles, which I noted in my email to property managment.
